The 767 will leave the fleet as soon as the 787 arrives as they are leased through GECAS. Aslo the 757s are as old as me and need to go soon because they are beginning to draw the wrong sort of attention to their high number of cycles. That being said i think its the most beautiful aircraft in the RAM fleet. But like I said before about african routes, it would be better if they used the 787 on these routes.

yes you a right about that but i miss some airbus fleets in AT they could use some A330's and maybe some A320's for their african destinations.

mista a.b i totally agree in most of your things but i the reason why KLM dose not fly AMS-CMN is because they couldnt compete with royal air maroc and since they made flying blue with air france they just codeshare with them. but i knows that BA was always full booked to TNG and RAK so i think that they will get them back! and i myself flyed with them a lot of times and there where never one seat empty!

I agree I was never on an empty flight between the uk and morocco and Ive been several times on AT and BA as well as ryanair once. I also travelled during non-peak times such as november. The planes were always full.

i have also heard that AF whould begin to fly directly from Paris to TNG im not sure if it was CDG or ORY i hope it whould be CDG!
but it will first begin in 2009 i just dont know when??

i think its great that they will add more destinations maybe you are right about they shouldn't use the 787 for that, and i dont think they will either. maybe it whould be better to use the 757 or the 767 for that because if they chose to fly CMN-NDR-TXL it whould be a good selution.

but i hope that they will add more african destionations! it will be a good investmen for them maybe it whould be great with nairobi, capetown or johannesburg!

AT used to fly to JNB up until 2000 if i recall correctly. It has been reported that the only reason they dont fly there now is because of the lack of adequate equipment , hence the route will most likely resume once the 787s come in service

Nairobi would make perfect sense especially for connections to North America, CMN is precisely on the path from NBO to JFK:

Hey i have heard that regional airlines whould be run't by air arabia.
and they will order 50 new planes but they dont know if it whould be A320 og B737-800
if its true i think it whould be the A320 (and i hope so) because thats the planes wich air arabia use's...

and why whould they use rabat as the hub that's crazy i whould use tanger since there is more trafic and since people from rabat can fly to casa insted!
and since royal air maroc and jet4you use cmn as their hub and atlas blue use's RAK.
Then it whould be good for Regional Airlines to use Tanger or maybe Agadir! But not Rabat!

but i thinks that Tanger whould be better since its a big city and since people in tetouan also use's it!

Royal Air Maroc finished the year 2007 with results on line with the tendency recorded during the last years. For 2008, the new records of the oil price threaten the results of the company.

For Royal Air Maroc, the year 2007 was remembered by the intensification of competition, a strong pressure on the prices and an elevated level of the cost of the fuel. In this context, the company continued its growth, maintained its economic equilibrium and its competitiveness on the markets.

Group RAM (RAM and Blue Atlas) carried out a rise of 15% of its activity with a traffic which reached 6.334.385 transported passengers, distributed as follows:

RAM: 4,9 million passengers
Blue atlas: 1,4 million passengers

The international regular traffic of Royal Air Maroc increased by 17% in 2007 and the majority of the markets of the company recorded rises of activity to two digits:
Average mail:

The traffic of Blue Atlas increased by 55% with 1381 488 transported passengers. The activity of Hub Casablanca as an airport of correspondence based primarily on the flow of correspondence between the Africa markets - Europe - the Maghreb - North America, recorded a rate of connectivity of 33% in 2007. This rate was of 5% in 2001.

On the level of the financial results, the turnover of Royal Air Maroc for year 2007 was established to 11.637 million dirhams, in rise of 9,6% compared to 2006. The bottom line reached 111 million dirhams.

The turnover carried out by Atlas Blue with the title of 2006-2007 reached 1890 million DH, in improvement of 52,17% compared to the preceding exercise. These results were possible thanks to the mobilization of the whole of the collaborators of Royal Air Maroc, with their engagement and their daily efforts.

Impact of the price of the fuel.

The first months of year 2008 record a continuation of the progression of the activity of Royal Air Maroc on the various markets.

On the economic plan, the company faces since the beginning of the year in progress, with an exceptional flight of the price of the fuel plane which had a strong impact on its loads and generated a big rise of its invoice containing hydrocarbon. This blaze of the oil price worsened the already difficult situation several airline companies throughout the world.

Between the first six months of 2006-2007 and the same period of 2007-2008, Royal Air Maroc underwent an increase of more than 60% of the price of the fuel.

Vis-a-vis this situation, the company took various in-house measurements of which, in particular:

- Launching, with the assistance of the IATA, of a program aiming at the fall of the consumption of the fuel, the recourse to the covers (hedging): the company made the decision since the beginning of the year to manage the hedging in a more dynamic way in order to seize the maximum of opportunities of the market and at a horizon long run, the launching of a programme of recasting of the processes on a Group RAM scale intended to improve the performances of the activities, the equipment of the planes in “Etops” to reduce the time of flight, the installation of the “winglets” on the planes to reduce the consumption of the fuel.

This equipment is generalized today to all the B737-700 planes and 800 of the company, the application of an overload carburizing, following the example other airline companies. This one is variable and its amount depends on the way. It is perceived on the tickets issued by Royal Air Maroc at the beginning of Morocco or abroad. By way, the overload containing hydrocarbon was increased (from April 23, 2008), of 65 Dh for the flights means mail, 145 Dh for the lines length mail and of 40 Dh for the flights of the interior network of the company. This overload will be revalued according to the evolution of the courses of the fuel.
